Cadillac DeVille Ratings, Reviews and Analysis

Ratings & Reviews

Bought a year ago with 101,000 miles, and I've put a couple of tires on it and changed the oil a few times. It now has 115,000 and has been quite reliable. Love it, Will buy again when the time comes.

Love it and hate it. If it were to stay running, I would be very happy.

Something is always going wrong with it. Fix one thing, another thing breaks down.
Fun to drive on the open road. It is not good for the elderly or the disabled, because it sits so low for entry/exit.
Rain water leaks into the trunk lid, not the rest of the trunk, just under the lid's liner.

Love cadillac's and I always get the DeVille which now they call "DTS" which only stands for "DeVille Touring Sedan". Mine is over 100K miles now so I am looking for another one .. when I get it I will giv this 2005 DeVille/DTS to my daughter, thats how great it is.

A great car for people with a lot of money in their pockets

It is a good car with a lot of room, but you have got to be prepared for the repair costs. What it normally a bulb for a tail light becomes a $800 repair because the entire tail light assembly has to be replaced. Once this car hit about 150K I was putting between $300- $600 per month into repairs. Right now the current repair is 3-4K, so the car is going to the junkyard.

over all a great car for every day use.

I have loved this car since I bought it, and have no complaints with it. It has been really good to me and low maintinance considering it;s a caddy. Very dependable and very comfortable and good on gas for a big car.

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles.

Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
